Steve was one of the most interesting people we ever
spoke with.
(I guess he got this from his Mom and Dad!)
An
amiable young man who we will miss as we are sure many will.

Kurt, Mark, Krystal.....
I didn't know Stephen but I am sorry to hear of your
loss. No matter how many difficulties he may have encountered in life, he had some wonderful siblings and was fortunate
to have had a caring family. I am sure that in time the good memories of Stephen will come around and will stay with
you. Take care.
